TOC announces $1.2 M PP at $1.00.
I don't think it gets any better than this. This was sure worth waiting for, TOC raising a non-brokered private place of $1.2 M at $1.00, with only 1/2 warrant at $1.50 and acceleration at $1.90. This will provide much needed cash to advance Pilar and El Picacho.
But more importantly, this came from a strategic investor who was a significant and early stage investor in Silvercrest (SIL trading over $10). The Las Chispas project, located in Sonora, Mexico is a significant property so likely this investor knows the area's potential well.
Current shareholders are also invited to invest.
